Solo Chicken Breast Stroganoff Style Food

CHICKEN STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs, then drain. Meanwhile, melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until slightly soft, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring, until they begin to brown, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter, the chicken, flour, paprika, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook, stirring, until the chicken browns, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a gentle simmer; cook until thickened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the sour cream and season with salt and pepper. Continue simmering gently until the chicken is cooked through, about 2 more minutes. Divide the noodles among plates. Top with the chicken mixture, parsley, some sour cream and paprika.

STROGANOFF-STYLE CHICKEN

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until well browned, stirring often. Remove the chicken from the skillet.
• Heat the remaining oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and onion and cook until they're tender.
• Stir the soup, yogurt and water in the skillet and heat to a boil. Return the chicken to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low. Cook until the chicken is cooked through. Sprinkle with the paprika, if desired. Serve the chicken and sauce with the noodles.

CHICKEN STROGANOFF

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, 5 to 7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
• Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Return the skillet to the stove, add the olive oil and increase the heat to medium high. Add the chicken, working in batches if necessary, and cook until it begins to brown on each side, about 5 minutes. Add the onions and cook until tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the flour and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Stir in the broth, scraping up any browned bits with a wooden spoon. Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, soup mix and cooked mushrooms. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until the broth is thickened to a gravy, about 7 minutes. Stir in the sour cream.
• Serve over egg noodles with a dollop of sour cream and garnish with fresh chives.

CHICKEN STROGANOFF

Steps:

• Season chicken all over with garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in flour. Set aside.
• Heat the butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken until browned, (about 4 minutes each side). Transfer to a plate, set aside.
• Melt the remaining butter in the pan. Sauté the onions until transparent. Add the garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds), then add mushrooms and cook until golden, about 4 minutes. Scrape any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet (=flavour). Add in the mustard and paprika, mixing well to coat mushrooms.
• Pour in the wine (or stock) to deglaze the pan, and let reduce for about 3 minutes while stirring occasionally to mix all of the flavours through.
• Add flour and cook, stirring, for 1 minute, then add the broth/stock and Worcestershire sauce. Mix well to incorporate and let simmer while stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to thicken slightly, about 2-4 minutes
• Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in sour cream. It may 'look' split, but the sour cream will melt through the sauce while it heats through. Let simmer until sauce is smooth and creamy, about 3-4 minutes, then season with salt and pepper.
• Return chicken breasts along with juices on the plate to the pan. Simmer for a further 2 minutes until the chicken is completely cooked through. (If sauce is too thin, simmer for a minute or 2 longer until the sauce thickens from the floured coating on the chicken.) Remove from heat.
• Garnish with parsley or chives. Serve over noodles, pasta, mashed potatoes or rice.
